UK went into Iraq war "in good faith"

Former British Prime Minister Tony Blair faced the UK Iraq Inquiry today. For hours he spoke about the events that led to his decision to enter the Iraq war with the US. A decision he still supports, he said. We spoke to our correspondent in London, Olly Barrat.

Left and right clash in a Jerusalem square

Left-wing protestors have been demonstrating in Jerusalem since August over the forced evictions of Palestinians from a small Jewish settlement in the eastern part of the city. Today, right wing protesters had threatened to stage a counter rally. Our correspondent David Poort was at the scene.

The financial crisis: looking for scapegoats

Now that the worst of the financial crisis is behind us, it's time to look for scapegoats. In the US, the chairman of the federal reserve Ben Bernanke has been reappointed despite widespread criticism. Dutch central bank president Nout Wellink may not be so lucky when his term comes up for renewal, says our The Hague correspondent John Tyler.
